This chamber is barely large enough for two people to stand in, One wall has a red robes, and black leather hoods. Alzar grabs one of each and puts them on. He unbinds his staff and axe
The cave system here branches into two parts, southish and southwestish. Alzar goes southish. The passageway splinters off, and there is a door here. Alzar opens the door. There is a passage way to the westish, and a small passage that suddenly stops. Odd. Alzar fails to find anything and uses the wand, and detects a secret door.
Inside is a chamber brightly lit by hundreds of sputtering candles. In the center of the room is a table piled with books and papers. Standing over him is a middle-aged swarthy man holding a sword to a younger man’s chest. A dead man is on the floor. The younger man shouts “Stop him! He has slain out father! He is a murderer!” The middle aged man tells Alzar (in disguise) to get back or die, and makes for the door. Alzar tries to charm him. Failure! The middle aged man moves to attack. This looks like it might be an axe fight, but let’s try staff first. Alzar grabs his staff.
The younger man draws a sword and looks to help Alzar. The enemy misses. Alzar misses. The young guy hits for 3 damage with a scimitar.

The guy introduces himself as Zweis Radu. The dead guy is Cartha Radu, and he just killed Anton Radu. Zweis is now in charge. He thanks Alzar but knows he is not a veiled society member after seeing him and Megala fight, but he offers Alzar a spot in the Society if he wants it., Alzar declines. He then offesrs 500 gold in jewels from the desk. Alzar still declines and moves to inspect the corpse. Zweis asks him kindly not to do that. Alzar moves to inspect the papers on the desk, and pissed off, Zweis attacks.
Alzar casts sleep. Zwies falls asleep. Alzar kills him off.

From the corpses he finds a long sword and a scimitar. A Ring, and armor. They are all added to the magic pile later. Alzar takes those jewels - 500 gold.
A search of the room finds papers and books that show House Radu and The Veiled Society are the same thing. There is also 3000 gold in gems in a small box, which Alzar procures.
